Chapter 558: The 50s Cannon Fodder Stepchild, Conclusion
The facts proved that both of their investments were worthwhile. Department Head Wang, Deputy Provincial Governor Wang, Secretary Wang, Minister Wang... even later, Standing Committee Member Wang. Although there were some twists and turns, overall, An Ning's steps upward were quite steady.
By the time Commander Lu passed away, Xiao Jing had already entered government service and started a family, while she had already become the proper Minister of Finance.
Even Lu Zheng achieved no small accomplishments in physics.
The elderly couple could be considered to have passed away with smiles on their faces.
It was just that An Ning didn't officially retire until she was over sixty in this lifetime. By then, Old Wang and Ms. Wei were already in their eighties. The two old folks spent their days practicing Tai Chi and taking walks in the park, occasionally having the younger generations over to play. They were the envy of all the neighbors, living a truly wonderful life.
Perhaps because life was so comfortable, right up until she passed away in her nineties, Ms. Wei remained a beauty-loving old lady.
Back when the economy opened up, relying on her own rather unique sense of aesthetics, Ms. Wei and Eldest Sister even partnered to open a clothing store and then a clothing company. And wouldn't you know it, they were quite successful!
Even now, it has become a top domestic brand.
Because of this, Ms. Wei was proud for a long time.
"Your mother, me, just had poor conditions when I was young, it held me back. Otherwise, I would've absolutely been a smart cookie too!"Otherwise, how could she have given birth to such a smart kid like A-Ning!
Ning Ning absolutely inherited her good genes!
Old Wang, speechless to the side: "..."
An Ning: "..."
And you know what, life after retirement really was fantastic, especially in the technologically advanced modern era, living in the most scenic manor. Aside from traveling abroad being a bit troublesome. In this lifetime, An Ning genuinely lived to her nineties without illness or disaster.
Happily, right up until the end of this life, An Ning's genius persona never got exposed. Not even her truly smart-cookie pillow partner, Lu Zheng, who had been by her side all along, ever suspected a thing.
After all, being able to beat two of him on the chessboard, clearly surpassing him in mathematics... if that's not a genius, then what is he?
As for physics, A-Ning didn't study that field, so it's normal she doesn't know that much, right? Even so, some of the ideas she occasionally brought up during exchanges were still astonishing.
It's a pity A-Ning didn't choose the sciences earlier.
It must be said, in certain aspects, Lu Zheng really was quite a pure person. Although he was occasionally, well, *a tiny bit* slow, with a reaction arc that could loop around several times, often offending people without realizing it. But after all the scheming and power struggles in the officialdom, coming home to face someone like him was actually quite nice.
Anyway, the venom from this guy's mouth never sprayed onto her.
It wasn't until her body showed clear signs of discomfort, amidst the weeping of all the younger generations, that An Ning leisurely returned to the space.
This time, the original host's evaluation was still five stars.
The original host's task this lifetime was simple: take care of her mother and sister, and make the Chen family pay. The latter was naturally accomplished, as they had already died long ago, deader than dead.
As for the former, with An Ning as a daughter (younger sister) steadily climbing the political ladder, the people around them were naturally, for the most part, good people. The two of them naturally lived extremely well. Even back when Xiao Chen was studying in his early years, the one who had headaches over the "smart cookie" was his brother-in-law Wu.
Oh, perhaps he also had to add his own little daughter, Xiao Shu.
It must be said, Eldest Sister's eye for picking a man back then was quite wise.
Although studying was a bit tough, with his exceptional good looks plus the boost of his family background, Xiao Chen's life was also quite wonderful. Xiao Shu, needless to say, with family background plus brains, that combination is pretty much unbeatable at any time. Especially after she followed in An Ning's footsteps into politics later on.
It was just the original host's biological grandmother, Old Li Shi, who, in her old age, suffered another huge wave of resentment.
But her cheap grandma, Old Li Shi, had some self-consistency about her. The resentment of others was simply wind past her ears, heard and then gone, never kept in her heart.
After her retirement backup plan, the eldest grandson, left, she used that earlier eight hundred yuan to desperately cling to Jiang the Second's family. At the slightest discomfort, she would throw tantrums, roll on the ground, and wail to the heavens all day long.
They were all from the same alley, and back then everyone still cared about face, so there was no choice. Unable to outwit the shrewd and utterly shameless old lady, and unable to move away, what could Jiang the Second's family do? They could only pinch their noses and accept it.
You know what? Being able to be this self-consistent as a person, how can that not be considered a success?
Of course, aside from these things, the original host was actually very satisfied that An Ning was able to stand at the pinnacle of power in this lifetime. Especially after learning that the tragedy of her family actually began with just a mere whim, a little joke from the young lady above.
An Ning skillfully opened the thread of fate in her hand.
Back then, she was already hungry and malnourished, and those people had no sense of restraint. The little original host just died like that.
But those people didn't end up well either. After returning and witnessing with her own eyes her little daughter die before her, for the sake of her eldest daughter An Yun, Wei Qiao endured on the surface, only sending the second sister-in-law's family to prison. But the subsequent revenge was equally ruthless and brutal.
A true beauty, once she goes all out completely, is also quite terrifying, especially during that special period.
If in this lifetime, under Miss Meng's hand, these people died relatively quickly and painlessly, then in the previous life, they were paraded with signs, publicly shamed, sent to the farm for theft, subjected to inhuman torment all day long.
It's just a pity that because of this, Wei Qiao also passed away early. After taking revenge, taking Old Li Shi's money, and settling her eldest daughter, in order not to implicate An Yun, she was also gone early.
As for the eldest son, compared to this lifetime where there was still occasional care, in the previous life, because of the original host's death, they essentially never interacted again until old age.
Of course, although the real culprit wasn't revenged upon, even with her rebirth in the previous life, Miss Meng's life was still in constant chaos and uproar. Even that originally successful and accomplished young man from the Yu family was ruined badly, transferring out of the military before he was even thirty.
Of course, although the real culprit wasn't revenged upon, even with her rebirth in the previous life, Miss Meng's life was still in constant chaos and uproar. Even that originally successful and accomplished young man from the Yu family was badly screwed over, transferring out of the military before he was even thirty.
On the other hand, Chen Peng, escaping the fate of marrying early, just like in this lifetime, tested into university. Although she was somewhat affected by this person's underhanded maneuvers, she still embarked on the path of journalism, later becoming the proper editor-in-chief of a national newspaper, living a thriving life.
The next-door Old Wang family, needless to say, aside from not enjoying the good fortune or achieving the heights of this lifetime, lived quite comfortably in the other lifetimes.
Indeed, when it comes to rebirth, forget other things, it really doesn't increase intelligence!
And some people's rebirths really do screw others over.
